c. School

Introduction: build a structure acording to its structural and architectural templet

ANS: I want to build School Building for a project

2) AIM: Assume reasonable assumptions for geographic and location details for your project modeling. Based on assumptions and type of structure selected identify the modeling requirements from NBC

Introduction: NBC- nashional building code(2005) gives idea of dimension regulation of units

Procedure:

step 1) open the NBCI 2005(group1) for achiv dimensions value under guidline

step 2) rule for lighting and ventilation

15 LIGHTING AND VENTILATION
15.1 For requirements regarding lighting and

ventilation for different uses and occupancies,
reference shall be made to Part 8 ‘Building Services,
Section 1 Lighting and Ventilation’.
15.1.1 Lighting and Ventilation of Rooms
Rooms shall have, for the admission of light and air,
one or more openings, such as windows and ventilators,
opening directly to the external air or into an open
VERANDAH.
15.1.2 Notwithstanding the area of openings obtained
through 15.1, the minimum aggregate area (see Notes
1 to 3) of such openings, excluding doors inclusive of
frames, shall be not less than:
a) one-tenth of the floor area for dry hot climate;
b) one-sixth of the floor area for wet hot
climate;
c) one-eighth of the floor area for intermediate
climate; and
d) one-twelfth of the floor area for cold climate.
NOTES
1 If a window is partly fixed, the openable area shall
be counted.
2 No portion of a room shall be assumed to be lighted,
if it is more than 7.5 m away from the opening assumed
for lighting that portion.
